BEST FOR COUPLES OCEAN Azamara Club Cruises 2 3


Spending more time in destinations is a big pull for couples who like cruising. The size of the ships means they can visit


smaller ports and the AzAmazing Evenings give guests unique experiences. Agents praised the line for giving guests the chance to attend a Moulin Rouge showcase or a spot of wine- tasting in chateaux in Provence, France. The new Insider Access and Nights and Cool Places destination programmes are likely give couples even more reason to sail with Azamara.


Oceania Cruises


It was the mix of quality food and relaxing spas that secured Oceania Cruises’ place in the top three. Agents say the ambience


and service on its fleet of five ships kept cruising couples coming back for more. Albert Garcia of GoCruise says Oceania provides an “all-round good experience for couples, which was, above all, very relaxing”.


RIVER Viking River Cruises 2 3


Targeted primarily at adults, Viking offers everything from cookery classes to lectures and talks. Excursions, drinks with meals and


tips are all included in the cruise price allowing passengers to enjoy their holiday without having to worry about money during the sailing. The line is perfect for older couples whose children have flown the nest, according to Holiday Heat’s Julie Osbourne.


Rivera Travel


What better way to arrive in a city than by sailing along the river that flows through it. Agents say the sun decks on Rivera Travel’s


ships are the perfect spot for couples enjoying a romantic city break. With sunloungers, a pool, a putting green and a giant chess board, it’s hard for any passenger not to have fun with this river line. Philippa Peters of Bath Travel says the line’s good pricing ensured it got her vote.
